After the recent mass shootings in Atlanta, in which six women of Asian descent were killed, communities of color are mobilizing together to battle racism. “The fact that so many Blacks and Hispanics marched in solidarity with Asian groups … is a positive indication that minorities see injustice against one group as injustice against all,” says Earl Ofari Hutchinson, author of “Why Black Lives Do Matter.”

The head prosecutor in Tehama County took to Facebook this week to explain why a man accused of two rapes and a sexual assault received a two-year prison sentence.
Ronald Cook, 42, of Red Bluff, was most recently arrested in April 2020 after police said he forced a woman into his car and drove around trying to convince her to have sex before strangling and raping her.
More recently in late February, the District Attorney posted a memo on Facebook with updates on various cases. The memo stated Cook raped two women and sexually assaulted a third, threatening to kill one woman if she came forward. The memo showed Cook had been sentenced to two years in state prison, prompting disbelief and anger from some on social media.
